A cleaner, greener,
stronger Whidbey
Whidbey Compost Collective is a worker-driven 501(c)3 nonprofit established in 2022, committed to capturing compostable material for the community good.
Our Mission
Our mission is to keep food scraps out of the landfill by turning them into nutrient-rich compost for local use. Through a decentralized network of collection and processing sites, we are able to deliver long-term environmental and economic benefits.
Our Values
Our values prioritize protecting the environment and supporting social equity. Our organization operates transparently and is committed to intentionally stepping away from extractive systems by exploring and adopting new ways to empower marginalized species and humans. We are committed to repurposing as many materials for reuse in our infrastructure as possible.
